  1. Thanks for the ideas.

    That said, Sorry, not seeing anything backed by Scott Rudin. Death of a Salesman is a no go. These performers should not lend their name to reviving his reputation.

    The Lost Boys starts previews today. Galileo starring Raul Esparza coming to Broadway in the fall.

  2. I have tickets for Rocky Horror and Cats. So stoked for those. Hoping to see Every Brilliant thing and gonna be rushing that. Not mentioned but my biggest anticipated show is Galileo which will be in Nov. We finally have Raúl Esparza back on stage after 14.5 years. That should be news esp if you are into theatre tbvh (Also in this house we boycott this current version of Death of a Salesman. Please do not support any production produced by Scott Rudin. Plus we already had a revival of DoaS literally 4 years ago. )

  3. I just found your videos two days ago and binge watching them for guidance, going on my first NY trip tomorrow with my 12yr old for 5 days and so nervous about maneuvering the subway since I’ve never taken the subway. Wish me luck.

  4. Also on the first home game in Yankee Stadium, there is a vintage subway train from Grand Central Station on Lexington Avenue that runs express to the stadium. Contact the New York City Transit for information about this and for what time it leaves for the fans?

  5. This year if 2026 will be the fastest pace of news and events for you and my old hometown of New York City! The Year of the Horse in the Chinese astrological calendar, Purim when the American Israeli War against Iran began, and the blood red moon of this past Monday within 2 months of the year. I mean every word I said.

  6. Hey Sarah, my fiancé and I bumped into you filming in grand central. Just wanted to say thanks again for all the recommendations we’ve had a blast!!
